AT#931 - Travel to Timor-Leste

Travel with Amateur Traveler Podcast

Hear about travel to Timor-Leste as the Amateur Traveler talks to Jonty Crane about this small out of the way tropical country where he is doing volunteer work.

Why should you go to Timor-Leste?

Jonty says, "... Because nobody else goes if that's your thing. It was quite a shock when I went to Australia, and there were tourists. Whereas going around Timor, there's almost no tourists. So that's a bonus. And it has world-class snorkeling, world-class diving, world-class hiking."

Jonty recommends an itinerary for Timor-Leste that spans approximately a week, balancing time in Dili, nearby islands, and exploring the mainland. Here's the suggested breakdown:

Day 1-2: Dili
  • Explore Dili City:
  • Visit Timorese Resistance Archive and Museum for an overview of the country's history.
  • Stop by Santa Cruz Cemetery, the site of the 1991 massacre.
  • Take a walk in Tasitolu, an area with three lakes, significant for bird watching and local culture.
  • Cristo Rei of Dili:
  • Hike up to the iconic 27-meter statue of Jesus Christ. Enjoy panoramic views of Dili and surrounding beaches.
  • Relax at nearby beaches like Cristo Rei Beach or Back Beach for snorkeling.
  • Dili Traditional Dishes: Try local cuisine at restaurants like Pro Ema or Dilicious Timor.
